“01: That the Ld CIT(A) has erred in law in relying on the ratio held in Kabul Chawla Dated 28.08.2015 (Delhi) in holding that completed assessment cannot be interfered by the AO without incriminating materials and completely ignoring the fact that for making the assessment u/s 153A of the Act, 1961, the Income Tax Act does not stipulate any such conditionality on A.O.
ITA No.- 1980/Del/2021 Vinod Karsanbhai Patel 02. That the Ld.CIT(A) has erred in law in ignoring the judgement of the Hon'ble Kerla High Court in the case of Mr. K.N Gopa Kumar Vs CIT Central (2017) 3901TR131. Mr. KP Ummer Vs CIT vide order dated 19.02.2019 and CIT Vs P Sasi Kumar wherein it is clearly held by the Hon'ble Court that the condition of incriminating material found and seized is not mandatory for making additions u/s 153A of the IT Act.
That the Ld CIT(A) has erred on facts and in law in quashing the assessment on technical grounds and not deciding on the various issues on merits.
4. That the Id. CIT(A) erred in law and on facts in deleting the addition of Rs 3,65,00,000/- on account of Unsecured Loans without properly appreciating the facts and circumstances of the case.
That the Id. CIT(A) erred in law and on facts in deleting the addition of Rs. 3,07,810/- on account of Disallowance of expenses without properly appreciating the facts and circumstances of the case.
That the Id. CIT(A) erred in law and on facts in deleting the addition of Rs. 2,80,00,000/- on account of Unexplained Credits without properly appreciating the facts and circumstances of the case. 07. (a) The order of the Hon'ble CIT(A) is erroneous and not tenable in law and on facts. (b) The appellant craves leave to add, alter or amend any/all of the grounds of appeal before or during the course of the hearing of the appeal.”
2. Representatives of both parties were heard at length. The case was carefully perused. We find that return income of the assessee at Rs. 43,58,439/- was assessed at Rs. 6,91,66,249/- after making addition to the tune of Rs. 6,48,07,810/.
3. We have carefully perused the underlined facts in the issues resulting into the impugned addition. We find that the entire additions made by the AO are devoid of any reference to any incriminating material found at the time of search. Therefore, the ratio laid-down by the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the case of Kabul Chawla 61 taxman.com
ITA No.- 1980/Del/2021 Vinod Karsanbhai Patel 41, squarely apply which has been rightly followed by the first appellate authority which calls for no interference from us.
